You are working for a consulting firm that has been asked to evaluate the factor of safety of the wall shown in the figure supported by a well-degraded sand. The resultant load behind the concrete wall acts at the one third point. Dw 1m 1.5 m 24 kN/m³ y = 20 kN/m³ 26.5 kN/m 24° = 34° n = 0.4 3 m (a) Determine the factor of safety if Dw − D > 1.5B. Ignore the lateral passive resistance due to the soil in front of the wall. (b) Determine the factor of safety if the ground water table rises to 0.5 m below the base of the wall. Discuss the significance of your observations.
A cross-section of a concrete gravity dam is show in figure. Analyze the stability of the block for full and empty upstream reservoir cases, separately. Ignore earthquake. silt, and ice forces. Specific weights of concrete and water are 23kN m and 10 kN m, respectively. Compressive and shear strengths of concrete are 35 MPa and 6 MPa, respectively. The coefficient of friction between block and foundation is 0.65. There is no tailwater in the downstream. Require safety factors can be taken as those of usual loading. 4 m 12 m 1H:4V 1H:12V

3. For the dam retaining water as shown in the figure, the foundation soil is permeable; assume hydrostatic uplift varies from full hydrostatic head at the heel of the dam to zero at the toe. The unit weight of the concrete is 23.5 kN/m³. Find the factor of safety against sliding and overturning of the dam, and the pressure intensity on the base of the dam (at points A and B).

A concrete retaining wall is shown in the figure. The fill behind the wall has a unit weight of 100pcf whose active soil pressure may be assumed equivalent to a fluid pressure of 30psf per foot. The passive soil pressure may be assumed equivalent to a fluid pressure of 300 psf per foot. The live load surcharge behind the wall is equivalent to an additional of 2ft of fill. Unit weight of concrete is 150pcf. Consider 1 ft length of wall.Which of the following most nearly gives the total active pressure acting on the wall?
Wooden posts (E=1,800,000 psi) are used for a retaining wall, each post is 6in x 6in.
